I’m going to keep telling people this because I am a life long blocker and couldn’t use phones or drive through speakers. My husband had to say my name for me. I’m 40 now and I rarely stutter anymore....

Good for you for being open and upfront. It can be hard to get used to. I don’t think anyone likes admitting they aren’t “perfect” (whatever that even means). I find just letting people know takes the...

Avevo un amico a scuola che anche se ripeteva le stesse cose giuste degli altri ma balbettando e quindi molto lentamente prendeva voti più bassi di loro, è un peccato perché quando mi scrive vedo che ...

Well, with that same thought, i tell people immediately. If you don't replace words for substitutes you won't come over as dumb. They just give you more time. When you talk to them more often they wil...

With facts and knowledge about how bad it makes you feel when they say things like that, and that it really discourages you from talking at all....

Very relatable hahaha. My tip: introduce yourself and immediately follow up by saying that you stutter and they might not hear you for a while. Almost everyone will give you the time to stutter. (Ex...

oh man sorry to hear that. Is she/he your friend or just stranger? Don't fixate on stranger's comments on you so much. But if he/she is your friend, you should inform him/her of your stuttering and ho...

Don't fail till you fail. If you're competent and the job doesn't require clear fiction like being an ATC or something you'll be fine. "Hey I have a stutter, excuse me" and keep going. Also what's...

I think the most insensitive comment is not to make comments. What stutterers need most is your patience. Just commit yourself as much as possible into their speeches and that's all. But anyway thx...

please keep in mind that not all people who stutters think the same thing and one person's response might not be appropriate for another. we are all human beings though, so "Hey man, sorry I made ...

lol thats the life man, my brother does the same when we're together "its practice man go ask its practice" shut theeeee, yes, I need to have pre-photos ready and loaded on my phone and need to make u...

I’m the youngest in a large family and grew up in a big city. I was always the one sent to the corner store to pick up that day’s meat or fresh produce. Always gave me anxiety telling the butcher my o...

I'd like to give your friends the benefit of the doubt, and not believe that as your real and true friends they were very pointedly being cruel. Do you guys banter, or talk shit, in good fun? Me and m...

If you are really struggling talking to someone, pause and say sorry. You really don’t need to apologise but hopefully they will say “don’t worry”, “no problem” or “take your time”. They will have rec...

Went through a Bachelor's and a Master's with this stutter. The only advice I can give you is don't lose your confidence no matter how hard the situation is. I know it is hard AF. One time I was pres...

Hmm. How long was the block or how long was it expected to be? I’ve been there, and I always feel better knowing I said what I wanted to say but stuttered rather than avoiding a stutter and not saying...

Serious advice here, if you are actually in this situation and can't text, STILL CALL 911, stutter dont matter....

I'm 20 in my 3rd year on college and let me tell you my friend, it gets better. I was in your SAME shoes all the way until actually, 12th grade. From as early as I can remember, my classmates would AL...

What drives me insane is people in power thinking this. I’m a current high school student, taking multiple college classes and have done well in every single one that I’ve done, and yet my school coun...

I just have college experience with presentations but just saying: If a professor has no empathy for stuttering then they´re really not as smart as their title. The weight of the situation is on them,...
